JUDGMENT

The petitioner is a citizen of India and holder of SBBL gun. The petitioner approached the third respondent by filing Ext.P1 application for renewal of the licence in time, also remitting the requisite fee, but the same has not yet been considered so far. The prayer is to cause the same to be considered within a reasonable time.

2. In such circumstances, if Ext.P1 is received in original, the same shall be considered, after calling for a report from the District Police Chief and after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. The consideration shall be in the light of the decisions reported in Ganesh Prasad v Board of Revenue (LR) [2005 (2) KLT 645] and Chandran Nair C. v. Additional District Magistrate, Kasaragod and others

WP(C) No.21035 of 2015 [2015 (1) KHC 351], at any rate within two months from the date of production of the certified copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of.
